Our clean ingredient promise

Every ingredient chosen
with purpose. No shortcuts.

At The Canine Project®, we use the same human-grade ingredients Jan uses in premium human skincare, chosen with purpose, pH-balanced for dogs’ skin, and gentle enough for everyone in the family. You can read every one of them below.

Human-grade
pH 6.5–7.5 balanced
Free from parabens & sulfates
EWG-informed
Non-toxic always
Jan & Nancy’s no list

We say no to these, in every formula, always.

Parabens
Synthetic preservatives premium skincare has moved away from
Sulfates
Harsh cleansers that strip the skin’s natural oils
Phthalates
Chemical plasticizers avoided by premium skincare
PEGs
Petroleum-based compounds we leave out of every formula
SLS
Sodium lauryl sulfate, a common foaming agent we skip
Artificial fragrance
Synthetic scents we leave out in favour of botanicals
Harsh chemicals
Anything that doesn’t meet our human-grade standard
EWG standard
All ingredients vetted against the EWG safety database
pH scale
0  Acidic7  Neutral14  Alkaline
Our formulas: pH 6.5–7.5

Formulated at pH 6.5–7.5, the sweet spot for dog skin.

A dog’s skin is more delicate than ours and sits at a neutral to slightly alkaline pH, different from human skin. Most grooming products ignore this. Our formulas are calibrated to this exact range, which helps skin stay comfortable and helps a coat keep its healthy look.
